Key result
Right-sided pacemaker implantation shows feasibility and good electrical parameters in PLSVC with absent RSVC.
Why the study?
Persistent left superior vena cava with absent right superior vena cava complicates transvenous cardiac device implantation and its true prevalence is largely unknown due to most implants being from the left side.
Population
3 patients with PLSVC and absent RSVC undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation
Comparison
Right-sided permanent pacemaker implantation using specific lead placement curves
Design
3-case series from a tertiary center

Right-sided permanent pacemaker implantation using specific lead curves is feasible and yields good outcomes in patients with persistent left superior vena cava and absent right superior vena cava.
Silişte et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Persistent left superior vena cava with absent right superior vena cava requiring permanent pacemaker (n=3). Right-sided permanent pacemaker implantation was evaluated on Feasibility and electrical parameters. Right-sided permanent pacemaker implantation in patients with persistent left superior vena cava and absent right superior vena cava was feasible and achieved good electrical parameters.
